still left a profit of almost $150
each, while the 10 low cows not
only did not pay for the labor ex
pended, but cost their owners $55
each for the privilege of caring
for them.
The Two High Herds
The difference between the two
high herds and the two low herds
was also of interest. The two
high herds, containing 16 cows,
produced an average of 9.449 lbs.
of milk, containing 447.6 lbs. of
fat. Their average feed cost was
$104.15, leaving a balance above
feed cost of $153. 84. The two
low herds, containing 20 cows,
averaged 5,5S2 lbs. of milk, con
taining 216.3 lbs. of fat. Their
average feed cost was .$4 7.6 4 and
the balance above feed cost was
$70.04. In other words, the two
high 'herds left a balance above
feed cost of little more than twice
as much per cow as did the two
low herds.
The High Ileitis
The highest producing herd was
that of W. S. Fisher of Sandy, Ore.
His herd, composed of eight cows,
registered Jerseys, produced an
average of 8.988 lbs. of milk, con
taining 510.4 lbs. of fat. The
other herds producing 'over 300

The average feed cost per cow
was $75.33, and the average profit
above feed cost was $90.74. The
average feed cost of producing
100 lbs. of milk was $1.11 arid for
producing one pound of butterfat
was 25 cents. Feed cost usually
represents approximately 50 per
cent of the total costs of produc

and has, already begun a new year

Asparaeus for home or com

in late March or early April, says
the vegetable gardening depart
ment of the Oregon Agricultural
college. The plants are .et out
hefore the crowns have begun to
develop into stalks, as these are
likely to he hroken in transplant
ing. Mary Washington Is a vari
ety widely used. One year old
plants are lxst to set out, with
two year old plants next. The
larger the plants the greater the
ensuing growth. Details of plant
ing asparagus In Oregon have
been prepared by the vegetable
gardening department of the ex
periment station in a circular.
The' details cover soil preparation,
trench digging, depth of planting.
Retting and covering and distances
of setting. The vegetable is one
that deserves a place in every
home garden, as it adapts it?elf
to a wide variation of climatic and
soil conditions. There is no
better asparagus than the home
grown that is quickly consumed
after harvesting.

WHAT IS A GREAT COW? THIS QUESTION
OISCUSSEQ Bi PROMINENT OWNER OF
Poet's Mabel Mowat, Jersey, Belonging to Karl Hanne
mann,' Corbett, Oregon, in the Columbia River Gorge,
Is Great by a Number of Tests Before 9 Years Old,
She Has Produced More Butterfat Than Any Living
Cow of Any Breed, With but Two Exceptions, Both of
Her Breed
(Karl Hannemann of Corbett.
Oregon, one of the outstanding
Jersey breeders of this section,
happened to be in Salem yester
day, and he was asktl by the
Slogan editor to answer the ques
tion. "What is a great cow?" He
answered it by telling about one
of his own cows, about ;ts fol

will make long friends. ()
The term great is easily
abused, but some dairy cows, es
pecially in the minds of breeders
of the art, rival the greatness of
men. The dairy cow is generally
known as the foster mother of
man, but individual cows through
the displays at livestock exposl-.
tions and performances at the pail
under authenticated supervision
have gone down in their particu
lar breed history at least with all
the honors that many a worthy
man has erfjoyed, especially be
fore death. Honors from purple
ribbons, priceless medals, lovintr
(tips, certificates, down to tomb
stones. I have in mind particularly a
little registered Jersey cow named
i'oet's Mabel Mowat. owned by
myself. Her home, modest, but
'1'iiie comfortable even in the
I blustering climate of the Columbia
river gorge, where the world's
; finest scenery may have been an
1 inspiration to this little benoiac
! tor of the human race as she mav
be seen gazing placidly over the
panorama that confronts her when
tethered on the green. However
lier copious yield of golden milk
and cream each year brings forth
further acclamations from the
headquarters of her breed associa
tion in New York City, till words
sec-rn to fail in description.
Almwt at lleal Now
Before nine years of age she
has produced more butterfat than
any living cow of any breed with
but two exceptions, both Jerseys
and the dead champions hold their
titles lightly.
Not alone does the seemingly
ceaseless flow of milk and butter
fat. make popular this cow, but it
is the grace and ease withwhich
she does it, she having claimed
t lie title for economical produc-

While it is true that the Greater Oakland Six is
built to a degree of precision once undreamed-of
save in hand-built cars
while it embodies engineering features found
in no other automobile in the world, regardless of
price
no small part of Oakland's irresistibly spreading
popularity can be traced to the universal appeal of
Oakland-Fisher bodies.
"Body by Fisher is a magic phrase

some of the costliest cars of the day.
